".geo" files are not for referencing geopdfs, they're for georeferencing images in PNG or JPG format (like a scanned image or something).
Geopdfs are newer than any map type coded into Xastir, and there is no native support for them at all. You can, however, convert geopdfs to GeoTIFF format, and they'll work just fine. Since they have georeferencing information in the file already, you need no other additional files to do this. However, you do have to convert the file using a script called "geopdf2gtiff.pl" in the Xastir "scripts" directory, and this script requires that you have GDAL installed (it uses gdalinfo, gdalwarp, and the "rgb2pct.py" script provided by GDAL).
